Description

Scans QR codes and displays their contents on a Chromebook or other computer with a suitable webcam. What's a "suitable" webcam? It's one that can focus the QR code within the red square in the app sharply enough that the app can decode it. My test results: - Chromebook Pixel: yes - Samsung ARM Chromebook: yes - Acer C7 Chromebook: yes - CR48: yes - 2009 MacBook Pro: yes, except for very small, dense QR codes - 2011 iMac: no, unless the QR code is ridiculously large (over one foot across) If Chrome implements an API to let developers adjust camera-focus settings, I'll be able to improve the app to work with more cameras.

The app didn't read any QR codes whether they are right in front or far away. After two tries, the camera turned all fuzzy. It's a shame since it's the only one in the store.

Was utterly perfect, but now refuses to recognise any QR codes I throw at it. Shame, as it was the only one on the store :'(

It did nothing but show a red box on my chromebook even though it accessed the webcam just fine. It just won't read bitcoin QR codes.

It works pretty well, but uses the wrong camera on my tablet, with no way to swap.

It worked for a while, but now my camera light comes on and nothing but a black screen with 2 intersecting red lines on the top left side of my screen. Does anyone know how to fix it?

This is a ok Qr reader but needs improvement. It sometimes doesn't read the Qr correctly, and you need the scan the Qr without shaking the paper or else the camera will get fuzzy.
